Local runtime and GPU status

Review runtime status and use the available NVIDIA acceleration/add-on path on compatible hardware.

Supported record questions and typed actions have defined boundaries. The assistant is not an unrestricted autonomous operator; existing permissions, validation and approval rules still apply.

Explore every AI action and example question

Staff roles, teams & access controls

Decide which records a person can see and which actions they can take.

Owner and staff accounts

Keep an owner account and issue individual staff access appropriate to the business.

Editable starting templates

Start from the available shared and trade-specific permission templates.

Custom company roles

Create reusable company roles with explicitly selected permissions.

Resource-level access

Grant access to specific record types such as contacts, invoices, people or stock.

Reject supported approval conflicts where the same person owns or submitted the record.

Account disablement and revocation

Disable staff access and apply current policy on supported server requests.

Company separation

Keep record and session access scoped to the relevant company.

Some legacy or privileged workflows are unavailable to restricted staff rather than granting unscoped access. Job titles alone do not grant authority.

Office network, remote access & hosting

Use an office PC as the workspace host, with optional controlled access for other devices.

Private local mode

Use VELQRA on the host PC with its business backend bound to loopback by default.

Optional office HTTPS gateway

Enable office sharing with a dedicated interface IP, port, office address and trusted certificate.

Owner-authorised pairing

Require the owner to authorise a browser before it can reach the shared workspace.

Individual staff sign-in

Keep browser pairing separate from the staff member’s own workspace login.

Time-limited paired browsers

Use the gateway’s 12-hour pairing window; a host restart revokes pairings.

Remote desktop connection mode

Point a separate VELQRA desktop window at the configured office HTTPS origin.

Office/VPN access

Reach the office address across a correctly configured LAN or company VPN.

Keep-host-running setting

Use the optional tray-host mode to keep the office backend running after its window closes.

Windows sign-in startup

Enable the installed edition’s opt-in start-at-sign-in path where configured.

Host stop and reconnection

Trade-specific client portal

Use eligible trade portal access for the work records explicitly made available to a client.

Site supervisor workspace

Use the supervisor path in construction/interior-design workspaces with the required assignments.

Office sharing is off by default. DNS, trusted TLS, firewall rules and VPN routing need separate setup. Local HTTPS integration tests passed; access from a second physical office PC and home VPN still needs verification in the actual network.

Read the office and remote access guide

Local storage, optional providers & backups

Keep the workspace local and choose any optional external file storage deliberately.

Local workspace records

Keep the desktop business database on the host computer.

Offline daily work

Continue supported work offline between the required subscription checks.

OneDrive provider

Set up the available OneDrive file-storage provider when external copies are wanted.

Dropbox provider

Set up the available Dropbox file-storage provider when external copies are wanted.

Per-company storage targets

Keep the selected provider and workspace destination associated with the company.

Organised file destinations

Use the storage model’s business/project/HR/finance destinations for supported documents.

Copy and sync status

Review pending, syncing, synced, failed, missing and archived file-copy states.

Retry and diagnostics

Review storage errors and use the available retry or rescan controls.

External providers are optional and require account/provider configuration and internet access. Enabling them copies supported files outside the PC; local-by-default does not mean cloud copies can never be enabled.

Help people find their way around the workspace and follow up on important records.

Notifications Hub

Review and create the available workspace notices and dispatch records.

Record-driven reminders

Surface reminders associated with invoices, work, renewals and documents.

Use Licence help for support messages, licence-copy requests and PC-change requests.

Subscription management

Open the existing billing service to manage the plan, computer count and billing details.

Offline licence interval

Keep the app able to connect at least once every 7 days for subscription confirmation.

Installed and portable editions

Choose a Windows installer or the portable distribution to suit the setup.

Update status and installation checks

Review the desktop update controls and the supported package validation path.

Update installation requires an eligible trusted signed installer and publisher configuration; unsigned/unconfigured and portable paths do not imply automatic updates. Notification delivery outside the workspace depends on its configured channel.

Field teams, supervisors & client portals

Connect site activity, attendance and permitted client views to the work record.

Daily workforce directory

Review worker deployment and active clock-in information in the available workforce view.

Worksite allocation

Associate operational staff activity with the selected worksite or project.

Open permitted technical documents and supporting project files.

Assigned site restrictions

Use supervisor/project assignments and the backend access rules for eligible workspaces.

Client record access

Give a client the external-access credential for the linked work record made available to them.

Trade-specific client view

Present the relevant work status and shared record information through the supported client portal.

Supervisor tools are specific to construction/interior-design presets. Client portal eligibility is trade-dependent, and external access needs a reachable configured host. They are not public access to the full business database.

Compliance Watch & business settings

Keep authority-source references and operational settings organised for the selected company.

Country-specific authority sources

Maintain the source list used by the selected country’s Compliance Watch.

Source configuration

Add, edit and retain the configured authority/reference sources.

Company operation settings

Configure the available working-hour, overtime, project and trade-operation defaults.

Appearance settings

Adjust the available workspace appearance controls for the application.

Module and registry configuration

Use company setup and supported registry settings to match your operating vocabulary.

Reference-source content and company settings must be reviewed by the responsible person. Source refresh is not automatic legal compliance, and unavailable/retired AI advice paths are not advertised as working features.
